Make this incredibly creamy coconut chia pudding using only five simple ingredients. This dairy-free, gluten-free recipe sets up overnight, making it the ultimate make-ahead breakfast or nutritious snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk (for maximum creaminess)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine the chia seeds, full-fat coconut milk, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and salt in a jar or container with a tight-fitting lid.
  2. Stir the mixture vigorously for about one minute. This initial stirring is key to preventing clumps and achieving a smooth texture.
  3. Let the mixture sit on the counter for 5 minutes, then stir again thoroughly. This second stir helps redistribute the seeds before they fully gel.
  4. Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  5. When ready to serve, check the consistency. If it is too thick, stir in a splash more coconut milk or water until you reach your desired creamy texture.
  6. Serve cold with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries or toasted coconut flakes.

Notes

  • For the creamiest texture, use full-fat canned coconut milk, not the refrigerated carton variety.
  • If you prefer a sweeter pudding, increase the maple syrup to 1.5 tablespoons.
  • This recipe is excellent for meal prepping; it keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • To make this recipe keto-friendly, substitute the maple syrup with a keto-approved liquid sweetener like monk fruit or stevia drops.
